Daytona Area Condo Sales Rebounded As Prices Fell

Daytona area condo sales improved in April, but median sales prices fell for the first time in months.

An analysis of Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data by Wyse Home Team Realty showed there were 155 condo units sold around the Daytona Beach area in April. It’s a 6 percent increase in sales, compared to sales totals in April of 2018. Unfortunately, year-to-date sales remained down 3 percent compared to the number of condo sales during the first four months of last year.

While there were healthy gains in sales totals, MLS reports show sales volume was up only marginally, 0.5 percent. That’s thanks to a 6 percent median price drop in area’s condo market during April. The median condo sales price in April was $195,000, down $12,500 from median sales prices in April 2018. Meanwhile, monthly comparisons showed April condo sales were stronger than in March as median prices fell dramatically.

“We’ve enjoyed several years of constant growth,” said Ron Wysocarski, Broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange. “These little swings in sales and prices are telling us that the market is neutralizing.”
